[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Without waiting for Zeus to attack, Demeter immediately frowned at the timid little guy in front of him and said, "Hephaestus, what are you talking about!"

Being able to be personally guarded by the current god king is an honor that other guys can't ask for, but he didn't expect Hephaestus to say such words, making Demeter think that the child was just killed by such a child. When you make a fuss, even your mind is a little confused!

Hephaestus didn't dare to answer Demeter's reprimand, but timidly tried to find a corner to hide his shrinking body, but the surrounding gods blocked his way like an invisible wall. I had to stay where I was, without opening a word like a stuffed oil bottle.

Such a situation made the gods worry, but Zeus, who is the king of gods, turned green and red. You must know that no one has refused his favor so straightforwardly!

The dexterous Persephone ran up to Hephaestus mischievously and said with a smile: "Hephaestus, Olympus is your home, where else can you go if you don't stay here?" Persephone had a deep memory of Leto's miserable appearance when he heard that he would never be allowed to step into Olympus, but Hephaestus was not Leto, and he obviously never thought that Olympus was As for the problem of his family, instead, he muttered the word "home" that Persephone just said in his mouth in distress.

He looked extremely depressed, and no matter how much others said, he couldn't reach his ears.

Suddenly, he asked the little green-eyed goddess in front of him, "Is Olympus my home?"

Persephone was about to answer "yes" straight away, but then she also realized something, and felt worried like Hephaestus, and said as if asking rhetorically or asking herself: "Olympus Is this your home?"

In the eyes of Persephone, the family should be like her, with the beautiful and sometimes mischievous mother goddess Demeter and the father Poseidon who is rough on the surface but actually gentle, but Hephaestus It seems that there is only one cold father god who seems to be ordinary to Hephaestus-Hera, and the other one, although the astute Persephone has already guessed something, but has not been officially revealed. Before this secret, Persephone could only think about it in her heart.

And who has so many outstanding children, will he care about Hephaestus, a shy but extremely kind-hearted god?

Thinking of the happy time Hephaestus spent with her, Persephone immediately wrinkled her face, her emerald-like eyes blinked with crystal tears, "Hephaestus, why don't you come back with us? Ocean!" She said sincerely, and believed that the gods present did not take her words as a child's joke.

Not to mention the expressions of other gods, only Demeter, Persephone's biological mother, turned pale when she heard this, "Persephone, what are you talking about!" If Hephaestus just Ordinary child, Demeter would certainly welcome this little guy to her home, but he is...

Now that Demeter is the queen of the sea, she is no longer the goddess of harvest who ignored her in the past. Her every move can represent the attitude of the ocean to the gods of the sky. Forged a beam with Zeus!

And the keen-minded Hephaestus was also clearly aware of Demeter's attitude, and only smiled reluctantly at Persephone, but this smile looked as terrifying as a monster's hideousness, but fortunately Persephone Not caring, "The ocean is your home, not mine."

Hearing Hephaestus's sensible words, Demeter's heart was relieved in his throat, and seeing Hephaestus as pitiful as a wounded little animal, his heart was even softer. A little bit, "I'm really sorry, Hephaestus." As she spoke, her eyes on Hephaestus became softer, for fear that she would accidentally hurt this little one who was as fragile as glass. mind.

And Hephaestus still maintained that seemingly grinning smile and said: "Why are you apologizing? I am the one who should apologize for my unthinking words!" Such Hephaestus aroused Hephaestus Attention, although he has no feelings for this little guy like the clock tower eccentric, he still appreciates Hephaestus's understanding from the bottom of his heart. You must know that in modern times, he has encountered many people who want to beat him up. Where are the bear kids!

Hephaestus also hurriedly went to Zeus to thank him sincerely: "Thank you, the god king who rules everything, for taking care of me for a humble guy like me, but I just said that, I only hope you Can use the sea," Hephaestus paused for a moment and immediately changed his words: "Forgive me, a dull fellow, with a heart like the sky."

They look like a pair of monarchs and ministers, and I believe that people who don't know will never see a trace of blood connection from them.

Zeus nodded in satisfaction with Hephaestus' understanding of current affairs, saying that he was willing to forgive what he said because of his youth and ignorance, but it is not known whether there is forgiveness in his heart.

So the matter was settled, at least on the surface, in a way that was satisfactory to all.

But satisfied, everyone has their own plans. After all, Hephaestus was an accident, an accident that no one welcomes, but because of this accident, Rhea had to let her mind work.

The first time she saw Hephaestus, she knew who the other father of the child was. Apollo, Artemis and Leto used to cover up to make everything look so natural. But the appearance of Hephaestus undoubtedly destroyed this distorted nature.

Even if the gods still think that Hephaestus is just a child Hera didn't know who he gave birth to, but what about in the future?Those who are troublesome will eventually find the unnaturalness inside, which undoubtedly threatens Zeus's position as the king of gods, so how can Rhea not think about it.

Finally the Goddess of Time has her own idea, which she believes is good for everyone.

"What? Rhea looking for me?" Upon hearing Iris' reply, Hera rarely raised her eyebrows. Seeing that Iris was waiting for her to leave, a sneer smirked at the corner of his mouth, "So she can still remember I am such a child!"

"Stop complaining!" Aerys said in embarrassment, and seeing that Hera had no intention of leaving, she could only say, "The messenger said Rhea is in a hurry!" But Seeing Iris anxiously dangling back and forth in front of her, Hera had no choice but to comply with Rhea's sudden request.

Of course, Hera subconsciously felt that it would be no good for Rhea to find her.

Sure enough, his premonition was very accurate, Rhea really had nothing good to look for him!

Seeing that cowardly Goddess of Time seemed to be thinking about something important, she didn't know what to think of, and she sighed heavily, so it seemed that she was quite sad, However, Hera was not interested in such Rhea. He bowed perfunctorily to the Mother Goddess in front of him, "I don't know what the Mother Goddess wants from me?" Hera's tone was boring in every way, as if meeting Rhea. It's the most boring thing in the world.

Even though Rhea was dull, her reaction was not too slow. How could she not understand that this red-haired child was expressing her dissatisfaction with herself?

If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't be bothered to summon the child who had the worst relationship with her, but now that she has something to ask for, Rhea had to calm down and show one-tenth of the tenderness she used to treat Zeus in front of her. The god of marriage.

"I just want to chat with you." Rhea didn't plan to say her request directly, because she clearly understood that as soon as she opened that mouth, Hera would definitely turn around and leave without showing any face.

Hearing Rhea's words, Hera lowered his red eyelashes to hide his impatience, "If you want to chat, you can find your sisters, or your mother goddess Gaia will be very happy!" No matter how I look at it, I am not someone who can chat with Rhea. The mother-child relationship between him and her is probably more plastic than plastic!

"Hera, I know we had a lot of misunderstandings before." When Rhea said this, she didn't dare to look directly into Hera's red eyes, because she clearly understood that she and Hera were afraid of "misunderstanding." "Both words cannot be fully explained.

Seeing Rhea in such a state of mind, Hera only found it funny, but he still didn't intend to sit down and listen to Rhea's words quietly, "You should hurry up and tell me your purpose, I really can't get used to being so polite. .” Inside the words, full of impatience.

And Rhea was still dawdling, and only popped out for a long time, "Do you remember Hephaestus?"

Hera still had a faint smile on her face, "Remember, it is my child after all." When it came to the word "child", Hera said it quite sarcastically, how could Rhea not hear it, but she could only Pretend not to hear.

"Actually, we all know who the other father of Hephaestus is." Rhea said this timidly. It seemed that she still wanted to cover up something for her precious son, but as soon as Hera heard When Rhea said this, she replied meaningfully: "That's natural, but now I recognize Hephaestus alone, aren't you satisfied?"

Rhea shook her head hurriedly, then waved her hand at Hera and said, "Of course not!"

To be honest, seeing Hera accepting the child alone, her favorability for Hera was unprecedentedly high. Of course, Hera didn't need such unnecessary favors.

And Rhea also understands this, but for her favorite child, she has to take this step.

Seeing that Rhea didn't speak for a long time, Hera happened to have a thought floating in her mind, so she said to Rhea with a half-smile: "Don't you want me to find another goddess for Hephaestus to be him?" Mother? To completely cover up the ridiculous truth?"

Rhea shook her head in panic and said, "How can the noble blood of Hephaestus be concealed?"

It's okay if Rhea doesn't say anything, but this opening made Hera suspicious. What kind of plans does this Goddess of Time have to harm others and benefit herself?

Finally, Rhea looked at Hera's red eyes, and still mustered up her courage to say, "I hope you can become Zeus' queen!"

Hera: oh
